NAME
       Regexp::Common::URI - provide patterns for URIs.

SYNOPSIS
           use Regexp::Common qw /URI/;

           while (<>) {
               /$RE{URI}{HTTP}/       and  print "Contains an HTTP URI.\n";
           }

DESCRIPTION
       Patterns for the following URIs are supported: fax, file, FTP, gopher,
       HTTP, news, NTTP, pop, prospero, tel, telnet, tv and WAIS.  Each is
       documented in the Regexp::Common::URI::sscchheemmee, manual page, for the
       appropriate scheme (in lowercase), except for NNTP URIs which are found
       in Regexp::Common::URI::news.

       $$RREE{{UURRII}}

       Return a pattern that recognizes any of the supported URIs. With
       "{-keep}", only the entire URI is returned (in $1).

        WAIS URIs

        Revision 2.105  2003/02/21 14:49:41  abigail
        Gopher added

        Revision 2.104  2003/02/11 14:10:25  abigail
        Changed 'nntp' to 'NNTP'

        Revision 2.103  2003/02/10 21:18:07  abigail
        Move most of the code into separate files. One file per URI, and
        one file per RFC.

        Revision 2.102  2003/02/07 15:24:17  abigail
        telnet URIs

        Revision 2.101  2003/02/01 22:55:31  abigail
        Changed Copyright years

        Revision 2.100  2003/01/21 23:19:40  abigail
        The whole world understands RCS/CVS version numbers, that 1.9 is an
        older version than 1.10. Except CPAN. Curse the idiot(s) who think
        that version numbers are floats (in which universe do floats have
        more than one decimal dot?).
        Everything is bumped to version 2.100 because CPAN couldn't deal
        with the fact one file had version 1.10.

        Revision 1.11  2003/01/21 22:59:33  abigail
        Fixed small errors with  and

        Revision 1.10  2003/01/17 13:17:15  abigail
        Fixed '$toplabel' and '$domainlabel'; they were both subexpressions
        of the form: A|AB. Which passed the tests because most tests anchor
        the regex at the beginning and end.

        Revision 1.9  2003/01/01 23:00:54  abigail
        TV URIs

        Revision 1.8  2002/08/27 16:56:27  abigail

        Revision 1.7  2002/08/06 14:44:07  abigail

        Added $RE{URI}{tel}{nofuture}

        Revision 1.4  2002/08/06 00:03:30  abigail

        Revision 1.3  2002/08/04 22:51:35  abigail

        Added 'use strict'.
        Added 'nodefaults' to 'use Regex::Common' to prevent loading of all
        defaults.
